About Me

I'm a twenty something working to pull everything together. This blog is an outline of the ways I’m working on keeping track of paying down debt, saving, and making more money. I’ll cover the methods that work for me, things I’m trying out, and great ideas/tips I stumble over on the blogosphere.

Thank Goodness for the FSA

I just spent $15-20 at Walgreens. I honestly don't remember because at the register my focus was on applying medicine as quickly as possible. My body is still unhappy with me, but all I can think is thank goodness for my Flexible Spending Account which will pay for half of what I spent today and the many doctors appointments that seem to be in my near future.

One great thing about my employer is that we get $600 of FSA money free. Usually FSA money is for health or dependent care and deducted from you paycheck pretax. Because we are a small office and have deductibles that are a little high my employer uses the extra FSA money to supplement.
